As this is a horror podcast, please know that this episode may not be for everyone. The discussed story includes descriptions of siderophobia (the fear of stars), a swampy cemetery, a mention of cannibalism, a confusion between waking and dreaming life, and many poorly pronounced fantastical place and race names. If these things are likely to bother you unduly, you are urged to skip this episode.
Catch us at Necronomicon Providence, where we'll be playing live at AS220! And for a full recap of the Eldritch Ball of 2022, listen to the beginning of The Curse of Yig (Discussion). (For the flashback sequence to that episode, we used this bit of ambience from Berlin Atmospheres.)
Finally, the mentioned TikTok is Lukas T Arnold's Trump Down for What, which is truly quite catchy. The YouTube series, The Most Popular Girls in School, appears to take place one town over from Olathoë.
